I had braces for almost three years and got them off about a year ago. I never wore my plastic retainers and I only got a permanent retainer on my top teeth. Is there any way I can get my teeth fixed without going back to braces?

Answer: Removable Orthodontic Appliance therapy You could have a Removable Orthodontic Appliance called a spring retainer made which would close that gap within a few weeks. Another treatment would be Invisalign 5 which would not cost as much as regular Invisalign for such a minimal problem as you have. Once the teeth are in place, you should have a fixed wire retainer bonded to the lingual surface of your lower teeth as you probably are not going to be a good retainer wear as you've shown already. If you don't move them back together, you could have some bonding done. Even the best cosmetic dentist would have a hard time doing two veneers to make this look correct so I don't recommend a veneer option in your situation.Douglas Jopling, DDS Dallas Texas area
